StoryMaker
Allows you to create an entire story by giving actions to the objects and pictures on the screen, like a "motion picture book! Extremely accessible for students, easy to use and keeps the students engaged as the story progresses. The only drop back we found was once the story is complete, it becomes more of a "play by play" and isn't as interactive as it was in the beginning as you're making the story. We rate the overall experience of this tool a 4.
Pixon
Allows you to create comic strips from provided layouts and pictures. When you click on anything in the picture you change it to whatever you want it to be (along with adding and deleting). The pop up tools on the screen are always relevant to what action you're looking to complete, which is helpful because it's less confusing for kids. It's convenient for students who aren't as creative because it provides images for them but for someone who may want to provide their own art work, that feature is not available which could be a drawback. We would still rate it a 5 because we found no real flaw while exploring.
